Man Utd fans have been given reason to get excited after a video emerged of Jadon Sancho trying to be convinced over a move to Old Trafford.

The video below was posted by Link Up TV presenter Harry Pinero, while Dave the rapper was also mentioned with the video being shared on Twitter by various United fan accounts.

It shows the Borussia Dortmund star enjoying himself while on his break from football before pre-season gets underway, before it’s noted that they’re trying to convince the England starlet to move back to Manchester, but this time to join up with United.

As noted by The Sun, the Red Devils has been linked with a swoop for the 19-year-old for some time, although he is said to be valued at £70m and so it remains to be seen if they are willing to splash out such a huge fee for him.

There doesn’t seem to be a great deal of doubt among the supporters though based on the reaction to the video below, and the overriding response was ultimately one of excitement over the possibility of Sancho joining the club.

Given he’s coming off the back of a stellar campaign in the Bundesliga, there is real intrigue over how far Sancho can go and he’s being tipped for a very bright future for club and country moving forward.

This video certainly won’t stop the speculation, as he didn’t appear to do much in the way of dismissing the suggestion of a possible switch to Man Utd either…

Confirmed: Chelsea complete deal for summer signing in touted £40m move.

Confirmed: Chelsea complete deal for summer signing in touted £40m move

CHELSEA FC

By Kelvin

Chelsea have officially announced that they’ve signed Mateo Kovacic on a permanent basis after spending last season on loan from Real Madrid.

As noted by BBC Sport, it’s suggested that the deal will cost the Blues £40m, and while question marks will be raised given their transfer ban this summer, they have been able to work around it in this instance.

It’s added in that report that they didn’t need to re-register Kovacic as their player given his loan spell last season, although it’s assumed that the agreement to sign him outright was done before June 30, as per the report’s suggestion that it was necessary to circumvent UEFA’s ruling.

The 25-year-old didn’t have the most decisive of seasons last year, as he managed no goals and just two assists in 51 appearances for Chelsea, with former boss Maurizio Sarri evidently relying on him heavily.

Following his departure for Juventus last month, that would have perhaps raised further doubts on Kovacic’s future, but ultimately with the transfer ban in mind, perhaps Chelsea felt as though they had no option but to keep the Croatian international on to ensure that they have enough next season to compete across multiple fronts.

As per the club’s official site, Kovacic has signed a five-year contract with the Premier League giants, while it remains to be seen if Frank Lampard had an influence on matters as BBC Sport note that he continues to be heavily linked with a return to Stamford Bridge this summer to be named as Sarri’s successor.

The 41-year-old will surely have had a say if he is set to get the job, as he will want to keep or sell players who suit his plans and ideas moving forward.

Got a ban but we’ll spend more than Arsenal’ – These Chelsea fans troll rivals after Kovacic announcement

Posted by  Kelvin

Chelsea have confirmed the signing of Mateo Kovacic from Real Madrid on a permanent basis, and their fans were delighted with the news.

As noted by BBC Sport, it is believed that the deal will cost the Blues a £40m fee as they are able to circumvent UEFA’s transfer ban given that the Croatian international was on loan with them last season.

It has been suggested that Arsenal may only have around £40m to spend in the summer transfer window in total, as per the Mirror, and so some Chelsea fans, as seen in the tweets below, couldn’t help but troll their rivals after the deal was confirmed on Monday.

Others called for Frank Lampard’s return to be announced as the Derby County boss is being heavily linked with being appointed Maurizio Sarri’s successor this summer, as per BBC Sport, while others lauded the move for Kovacic as he could prove to be a vital figure next season and beyond.

Although the former Inter and Real Madrid star didn’t have a decisive impact last year, he was a crucial presence in the squad to help them compete on multiple fronts.

With an inability to add further reinforcements this summer, it’s arguably a sensible decision from Chelsea to make his move a permanent one, and it seems as though many fans are delighted that the club have found a way to make a signing despite the ban.

In addition, they were particularly keen to make a point of the fact that they’re still making moves while the wait goes on for Arsenal and Spurs to strengthen.

Bid made: Arsenal fall well short of £80m valuation for top target as pursuit ‘getting ugly’ says journalist

Bid made: Arsenal fall well short of £80m valuation for top target as pursuit ‘getting ugly’ says journalist

ARSENAL FC

Posted by Kelvin 

Arsenal have reportedly made a £40m offer for Crystal Palace star Wilfried Zaha, which is nowhere near his touted price-tag this summer.

The Gunners are coming off the back of a disappointing campaign in which they failed to break back into the top four in the Premier League and fell short in the Europa League final to be left trophyless.

With that in mind, Unai Emery will be desperate to see reinforcements arrive this summer to bolster his squad and give them a better chance next season, but ultimately it could prove to be very difficult to bring in his top target.

According to The Sun, Arsenal have made a £40m offer for Zaha, but with Crystal Palace said to be valuing the 26-year-old at closer to £80m, that is significantly short of being enough to convince them to sell regardless of his reported desire to make the move to the Emirates.

It’s noted that Arsenal are said to only have around £45m to spend this summer, and so it’s certainly difficult to see how they will be able to match Palace’s demands.

Meanwhile, highly respected BBC Sport journalist David Ornstein has delivered a bit more insight into the matter and has revealed that Arsenal’s pursuit of Zaha is ‘getting predictably ugly’ while no players have been offered as part of a swap deal, as per his tweet below.

As per @SkyKaveh Arsenal have submitted opening bid for Crystal Palace winger Wilfried Zaha. No players offered yet as part of proposed deal. Will be rejected & is getting predictably ugly. As previously reported Zaha wants to join #AFC & Emery wants him but #CPFC want huge money

— David Ornstein (@bbcsport_david) July 1, 2019

In turn, it remains to be see how the situation plays out as although there is still a long way to go this summer, the Gunners have decisions to make as they won’t want to waste time chasing Zaha if a deal isn’t likely while spending their entire reported budget on one player doesn’t sound like a smart move either.

Especially after their porous defence let in 51 goals in 38 Premier League games last season, giving them the second worst defensive record of the top nine sides, there is a need to strengthen elsewhere too besides with Zaha.

REAL MADRID CF

Posted by Kelvin one hour ago

Real Madrid have been busy splashing out on rebuilding their squad this summer, but it could now be followed by player sales to balance the books.

The Spanish giants have already confirmed the signings of Luka Jovic, Eden Hazard, Ferland Mendy and Eder Militao this summer, with Zinedine Zidane looking to oversee an overhaul at the Bernabeu after their bitterly disappointing campaign last time out.

Having ended the season empty-handed, Los Blancos will be desperate to avoid a repeat next year, and so it’s not come as a surprise to see them spend big on bringing in reinforcements.

However, whether it’s to balance the books or to bring in more cash to give to Zidane to continue his spending, the latest reports suggest that there will be exits coming too.

According to Mundo Deportivo, six names are in line to move on, with one of the touted deals having been officially confirmed already after Mateo Kovacic’s permanent move to Chelsea was completed.

That deal alone is said to have brought in €50m for Real Madrid, as per the report above, while Raul de Tomas, James Rodriguez, Theo Hernandez, Borja Mayoral and Martin Odegaard are all being tipped to follow him out of the exit door to bring in over €155m in total.

Time will tell if those deals go through as planned and if the numbers are accurate, but it would certainly be a masterstroke from the club if they do as those are all players surplus to requirements in the Spanish capital and so it would make a huge amount of sense to offload and cash in where possible.

With the signings that have already been made alone, Real Madrid look to be in a much stronger position already to compete next season, but with the backing of more spending power from these sales, they could yet get even stronger.

Chelsea star agrees terms with Euro giants, transfer fee still yet to be agreed between clubs Posted by Kelvin

Out-of-favour Chelsea star agrees terms with Euro giants, transfer fee still yet to be agreed between clubs

Posted by  Kelvin
May 31-2019

Chelsea and Spain star Marcos Alonso is said to have agreed a deal with Spanish giants Atletico Madrid ahead of a potential move to the club this summer.

Alonso quickly found himself out-of-favour at Stamford Bridge in the second half of this season, with the Spaniard losing his place in the Blues’ starting XI to Italian international Emerson Palmieri.

Alonso didn’t really future for Chelsea in the Europa League from the quarter finals onwards, with the 28-year-old even being left out of the Blues’ squad on more than one occasion for a number of their Premier League games.

And following this, it seems like Alonso has decided to call time on his stint with the Blues, as Marca are reporting that the Spanish star has agreed a deal with Atletico Madrid regarding a summer switch.

However, as Marca also report, Atletico still have to agree terms with Chelsea for Alonso, something that may prove to be difficult given the transfer ban that’s looming over the club’s head.

Alonso has agreed terms with Atletico over a summer move to the club

Should Chelsea fail to overturn their transfer ban, it wouldn’t seem wise to let Alonso leave this summer, especially given their lack of options at left back.

The club would only have Emerson Palmieri to choose from in that position should they let Alonso leave, thus we can’t really see the Blues letting the Spaniard depart Stamford Bridge unless the offer truly was too good to turn down.

An important Real Madrid player who can be counted as a regular is eyeing a move to Barcelona in order to play alongside Lionel Messi.

Real Madrid ended a dismal season with a 2-0 defeat to Real Betis in the Santiago Bernabeu, their 18th of the campaign. Meanwhile, arch rivals Barcelona missed out on a chance to lift the UEFA Champions League but are marching towards a domestic double, their second in a row, and also the fifth successive Copa del Real

The Whites are going to sell off some key players once the transfer window opens and will sign better ones as well. Gareth Bale, Dani Ceballos and Marcos Llorente are the three who have already been informed by Zinedine Zidane that they are not in his plans and there will definitely be more players who will have to find newer pastures.

It has been widely thought that Isco Alarcon could be among those heading out of the Spanish capital. Julen Lopetegui considered the Spaniard very important, but Santiago Solari nearly ruined Isco’s career during his time at the helm. Zinedine Zidane is keen on helping the former Malaga man rejuvenate, but he isn’t sure yet about keeping him in Madrid.

According to Diario GOL, the Madridistas’ biggest fear is that Isco would be headed to arch rivals Barcelona where he would be a tremendous hit. Reportedly when the attacking midfielder signed fresh terms with Real Madrid, he told Florentino Perez to pay him a certain amount of salary and failure in doing so would result in Isco being at Barcelona to play with Messi.

Consider all rationalities, it seems absolutely unlikely that Real Madrid will sell Isco to their Catalan counterparts even if they pay through their mouth. Meanwhile, Manchester City are interested in moving for the Spanish midfielder and will have to meet Real’s demand of 80 million euros to sign Isco.

Vincent Kompany announced on Sunday that he will leave Manchester City

19 May 2019  |  10:30

Vincent Kompany

Vincent Kompany announced on Sunday that he will leave Manchester City after 11 trophy-laden years to become player-manager of Anderlecht.

Belgian defender Kompany joined City in 2008 and made 360 appearances, winning four Premier League titles, two FA Cups, four League Cups and two Community Shields.

The 33-year-old signed off with victory in the FA Cup final on Saturday, where the club captain lifted the trophy after City thrashed Watford 6-0 to complete a domestic treble.

"As overwhelming as it is, the time has come for me to go. And what a season to bow out," Kompany said.

"I feel nothing but gratefulness. I am grateful to all those who supported me on a special journey, at a very special club."

Anderlecht is the Belgian club where Kompany began his professional career before joining Hamburg and he admitted he is relishing the chance to move into management.

"I choose to be grateful for the past but remain ambitious and driven for the future. For the next three years, I will take up the role of player-manager of Anderlecht. Belgium's finest," he wrote on Facebook.

"This may come as a surprise to you. It's the most passionate yet rational decision I've ever made."

Kompany was in tears after scoring a dramatic long-range winner in City's final home game of the season against Leicester on May 6, a result that moved them to the brink of the Premier League title.

Speaking at the time, he hinted his emotional response might have been triggered by a potential departure.

But he waited until the season was over before finally confirming the end of his glorious spell at City.

"I will never forget how all Man City supporters remained loyal to me in good times and especially bad times. Against the odds you have always backed me and inspired me to never give up," Kompany said.

"(Club owner) Sheikh Mansour changed my life and that of all the City fans around the world, for that I am forever grateful. A blue nation has arisen and challenged the established order of things, I find that awesome."

Kompany has been ravaged by injuries in recent years and he featured in only 17 of City's 38 league games this season because of muscle problems.

CITY ICON

However, he will be remembered for his influence on and off the pitch, a contribution that established him as the heartbeat of City's greatest era.

He led City to a first top-flight title since 1968 in 2012 and goes down as one of the most iconic players in the club's history.

Along with Sergio Aguero and David Silva, Kompany is one of only three survivors from the 2012 title triumph.

Kompany also paid tribute to his teammates and manager Pep Guardiola.

"It's cliche to say it but it's also so true: without my teammates, I would have never been here today," he said.

"We fought many battles together. Side by side. In good times and in bad. So to all of you, from the 2008-2009 squad to today's domestic treble winners: I owe you guys!

"A special word also to Pep and the backroom staff: you've been superb. You've followed me through so much hardship. You made me come back stronger every time. Thank you so much."

In September, City will hold Kompany's testimonial match, from which he will donate all profits to Manchester's homeless.

City chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak told the club's official website: "There have been many important contributors to Manchester City's renaissance, but arguably none are more important than Vincent Kompany.

"He defines the essence of the club. For a decade he has been the lifeblood, the soul, and beating heart of a supremely talented squad.

"A booming voice in the dressing room yet a quiet and measured ambassador off it, Vincent can be as proud of himself as we are of him."

City midfielder Kevin De Bruyne, Kompany's club and country teammate, tweeted: "Playing for about 10 years with this man for club and country. And what an privilege it's been.

"Big player, Big personality and big leader. Learned a lot from you. Wishing you all the best for the future."

UEFA give reason the the allocate of 2019 Europa ticket between Chelsea vs arsenal

final
By: Kelvin may 10-2019

UEFA has defended its decision to allocate a small fraction of the ticket for the 2019 Europa League final which will feature Chelsea and Arsenal. The European football governing body gave each club just 6,000 tickets for the all-English final scheduled for May 29 at the 68,700 seater Olympic Stadium in Baku, Azerbaijan.

In wake of the development, both Chelsea and Arsenal are reportedly working to get a more improved percentage of the tickets and the latter even described the situation as "disappointing" in a statement released on Friday. Nevertheless, UEFA has revealed that there is no alterior motive behind the ticket allocations for both Chelsea and Arsenal.

Per a statement released by the association, the host city of Baku will be unable to handle a troop of over 15,000 fans, hence the decision to award both Chelsea and Arsenal 6,000 seats apiece.

"Based on UEFA's recent experience with UEFA Europa League finals and the UEFA Super Cup in comparable venues, the number of finalists' supporters requesting tickets for a UEFA Europa League final can vary greatly from club to club," the statement read.

"Of course, it is impossible to predict in advance which clubs will reach the final, while the venue has to be chosen around two years in advance.

"Taking into consideration the above and, most importantly, the geographical location and logistical capacity of airports in and around the host city, it was deemed that around 15,000 spectators would be able to travel from abroad.

"Offering more tickets to fans of the participating teams, without any guarantee that they would be able to arrange suitable travel to reach Baku, was therefore not a responsible option.

"Based on these circumstances, for this year's UEFA Europa League final in Baku, 6,000 tickets have been made available to each of the finalists."

Relatively, fans of Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool have expressed their dissatisfaction towards UEFA after it allocated just 16,613 tickets for the Champions League final in Atletico Madrid's 68,000-capacity Wanda Metropolitano stadium.

Chelsea are expected to make a sensational move to bring former goalkeeper Petr Cech back to the club

May. 2019 at

Chelsea are expected to make a sensational move to bring former goalkeeper Petr Cech back to the club according to the Telegraph. 

Arsenal’s current shot-stopper has revealed he will retire at the end of the season and will review the options available to him before deciding on his next move.

Chelsea are hoping to bring Cech back to the club in a technical capacity, having never replaced Technical Director Michael Emenalo who resigned back in 2007.

Petr Cech enjoyed a successful 11 years at Chelsea.

The former Czech Republic international is a fan favourite at Stamford Bridge and will certainly prove a popular move if he were to return.

It is thought that a last majority of Chelsea supporters feel the club have lost their identity somewhat since the departure of players such as: John Terry, Frank Lampard, Ashley Cole and Didier Drogba.

Cech returning to the club, would be seen as a welcome move to bring back some of the spirit that brought the club their most successful period.

Nigerian Defender Tipped To Replace Chelsea Legend Cahill Next Season

Nigerian Defender Tipped To Replace Chelsea Legend Cahill Next Season

Published: May 07, 2019
By: Kelvin

Chelsea's Nigeria defender Fikayo Tomori has emerged as one of the strong candidates to help shore up the Blues backline next season following his scintillating loan spell with Derby County this season

Tomori, 21, played a very pivotal role in the Rams landing a play-off berth via their Championship finish in the just concluded campaign and even picked up the club's POTY gong.

With most of the Blues central defenders the likes of Tomas Kalas and Gary Cahill who has won virtually every title at the club linked with the exit door at the end of the season, Foootball London  has tipped the youngster to become one of Maurizio Sarri's trusted men in defence next term.

Having also developed with the knowledge from his loan stints at Brighton and Hull City, it is envisaged that he has garnered the requisite required to strut his stuff with the Premier League giants.

He made his professional debut for Chelsea in a 1–1 draw with Leicester City on 15th May, 2016 when he replaced  Branislav Ivanović.

Chelsea star Eden Hazard shook his head, laughed and drove off when begged to stay at Stamford Bridge by a pair of Blues fans.

The Belgian is widely expected to join Real Madrid this summer, and after a magnificent season which has seen him involved in half of Chelsea’s Premier League goals, fans are desperate to keep him.

This could be Hazard’s final season at Chelsea

A video has emerged of two supporters stopping alongside Hazard in traffic after Sunday’s 3-0 win over Watford – which secured Champions League qualification for next season.

They plead with him to, ‘Stay at Chelsea, stay at Chelsea’ – and the 28-year-old, known for his cheeky personality, decides to toy with their emotions.

Watch the video below:

Hazard’s laugh at the end suggests he was joking – and it’s unlikely this constitutes any serious hint about his future.

However, reports have emerged on Monday to suggest he is close to the exit door.

According to The Sun, Blues chiefs promised Hazard last summer that he would leave for La Liga with their blessing if he stayed for one more year.

Chelsea to signed Cardiff city winger in the Summer.

By: Kelvin. May 7-2019

Chelsea are considering a shock move for Cardiff City winger Josh Murphy should their transfer ban be delayed, Football Insider understands.

Chelsea are looking at potential wingers as doubts surround the long-term futures of Eden Hazard, Willian and Pedro, while Callum Hudson Odoi faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a serious Achilles injury.

A Chelsea source has told Football Insider that Cardiff attacker Murphy has emerged on the club’s radar after catching the eye for the Bluebirds this season and he would also boost the Londoners’ dwindling homegrown quota.

The Blues are also aiming to bolster the number of homegrown players to boost their quota with the likes of current homegrown players Gary Cahill, Rob Green and Danny Drinkwater all likely to leave Stamford Bridge this summer.

Crystal Palace and Burnley are also monitoring Murphy’s situation at Cardiff and are preparing moves for the winger if the Bluebirds suffer relegation from the Premier League.

Cardiff are expecting to lose a number of their key players if they go down and Chelsea are keeping tabs on Murphy as he would fit their profile of being a homegrown player and happy to be a squad member at Stamford Bridge.
